Cultivation

Sometimes the unknown can be a dark, shadowy corner, something you would rather not unearth. You may encounter a stubborn root, so massive it takes much coercion for the slightest movement. Many more attempts to loosen it from the depths of the earth. Even more visits until you have exposed it sufficiently; you start the slow process of removing it.

When all is said and done, you have shed light on an otherwise dark area. You exposed and examined a stubborn root, a behavior that was weighing you down. The soul breathes in gratitude of this newfound levity. Freedom awaits you by facing those stubborn roots that took hold so many years ago.

A continual cultivation of heart and soul. This is our most important work here.
